spring break: part 2

Did you read Part 1 of my spring break story? If not, catch up here. 

Our first port stop was Cozumel. The kids were so excited to visit a new country. And the disembarkation was crazy fun with music, dancing, balloon animals and more. The pier was long and we had another ship docked next to us. It was full of retired people and they seemed quite annoyed by our spring break party ship pulling up. 

We chose to do an excursion in each city. We had studied the choices and tried to take everyones likes and dislikes into consideration. We decided to do the water park. It had a little bit of everything. Pool, ocean, slides, hammocks, and sand. The kids loved the huge floating obstacle course. You had to swim out in the ocean to do it. It was not easy. For people who did not have a strong upper body, getting back up after falling off proved difficult. But, I don't know anyone like that. wink wink. 

Before going on the trip Eden decided that she REALLY wanted her hair braided. No matter how much of her spending money (thank you Grandma and the Smith superbowl pot)  it took. She sat for an hour as two women worked fast to get her big curly thick head of hair all braided up. 

I told you this place made us all happy, right? Let me show you why.....

I ain't no dummy. These massages were like $45 an hour as opposed to the ones on the ship which were like $125 or something absorbent like that.
